Everything you are seeing is reasonably common in LS engines, except they are all running E85 or even E100.

With that gas, what he is running is feasible. It will be interesting to see what happens when he increases the boost though.

He was sufficiently non-specific in his commentary that it was not clear whether or not the c/r comments were specific to the n/a or boosted engine. He also completely avoided answering the question at the end of the video when he was directly asked.

I think we need a clear answer. That said, I'll still bet dollars to donuts it is down in the 9:1 area.
